ok so i used this site some time back on some other ereaders i had gotten my wife, currently she has the nook color, now im also thinking of getting one to do this root thing. is there a simple noob friendly thread i can follow to install in myself, noticed i guess theres different ways to run it also so as ez as possible of a guide would be appreciated and thanks in advance. keep up the good work.

whats the difference in auto or manual doing? does it matter?
also whats cm7?

Do not use the ManualNooter 4/28 from XDA - it will cause you a lot of grief - the devs have not been able to fix the market (and basically the sync with your Google accounts) - it is not ready for prime time and there appears to be much confusion with many posters claiming various degrees of success.

You will have to be patient OR, you can run CM7 from an SD Card and keep your Nook on Stock 1.2 internally. I do just that and whichever one I ujse it runs smooth as butter.

well im not gonna try it on my wifes im thinking of buying one for myself after hearing about this whole root thing. ok so if i buy one more then likey will either be 1.1 or 1.2 which i just updated on my wifes NC. and once i get it i can install this cm7 on a SD card and run it directly from the SD card. Correct me if im wrong. Is there a super noob friendly guide for that. lol appreciate the info everyone. was looking to get me a projector for my bday but bills come first and this will be cheaper. lol.. i'll b checking back in. thanks in advance

It can be installed directly to the NC wiping out the B&N firmware and features or it can be run like a second OS either dual boot or from and SD card. I'm running it on an SD card right now and it works pretty good. It basically gives you a full Android tablet...http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1000957

yeah i really like that idea of running it off the sd card and all. and i like some of the things ive seen that u can do with the NC afterwards

Yeah, it's pretty cool and if you want to go back to stock it's as simple as starting the NC without the CM7 SD card in it. There are tons of CM7 NC videos on YouTube if you want to get an idea of how things look/work.

ive been looking on youtube also for how to videos, came across one thats broken done pretty simple. has like 5 parts but not sure if i should follow.any way someone can check to see if i can follow it. know sometimes cant post outside links on some forums

i check back in later, gotta get to bed. work early.. looking forward to doing this. just might pick one up tomorrow or before wkend.Got a feeling once i get this running the wife will want to do the same. lol

so i need to get a certain sd card as well ? probably pick one up at walmart any suggestions on which on?

searched on ebay for that Transcend 8gb class 6 card got one for 20.. good deal? should i get that one ? or should i get a different one. is there a better one ? appreciate all the help so far everyone, slowly but steady getting things together.

also when some ppl say that theyre running android 3.0 honeycomb is CM7 the same thing just with a different name?
